Dear Sir,
Sorry to hear about your problem. Poland's syndrome is a congenital disorder in which there is improper development of the chest wall on one side and this can lead to cosmetic as well as functional problems. The only solution to this problem is surgery.
You can claim compensation but they would also offer you to undergo treatment.
Hoping for the best.
